Small circles under the large head indicating the starting points of the tentacles.
Draw small circles under the head to determine where the eight arms will begin.

Long squiggly lines fanning out from the head.
Draw long, wavy lines outward from the circles for the shape of the tentacles.

Thick tentacles and two round circles for the eyes on the head.
Make the arms thicker by drawing a second line around the wavy lines and sketch the eyes.

Small circles as suction cups on the back arms of the octopus.
Draw small circles along the back tentacles to create the first suction cups.
